Front shocks for 2003 Honda Stream

woppi

Have had this 2003 Honda Stream for years and never had trouble with it until just recently. It failed NCT due to a leaking front shock absorber. I'm having trouble getting replacement parts. Honda Dealer says they could be ordered from Japan but take forever to get here. The usual Japanese parts supplier here that Atlas, Fast Fit, etc use doesn't have the exact part.

There used to be a mechanic near the airport that specialised in servicing Japanese imports but doesn't appear to be around anymore.

Apart from replacing the car, what are my options?

Replace both fronts or you'll have imbalance.

Atlas and Fast Fit but have tried the KYB parts that are listed for the 2003 Honda Stream but they do not fit.

That's if one can get the parts.

I'll have a look at Tecdoc when I get home from work. Maybe I can find the correct part numbers
